They would all be pre-calculated for that clock at that location, starting from today. In my approach this would be a very application specific shoot of the code. The 18F24J10 is $1.66 in the cheapest package. No combination of package and temp range is over $2 in quantity one. It’s got 16K flash and way more of everything else you probably would need. There are other parts from other vendors that are also under $2 that might make more sense.

For me time is money.. so I'm willing to invest $30 in an arduino at the 
local radio shack and call it done.  If it were a product one were 
selling, then, yes.. program a PIC, etc.
